Jason and Haidee Barcelon celebrate a milestone

- Honey Jarque Loop - The Philippine Star

Jason Tan Barcelon, son of businessman George Barcelon and Irene Tan Barcelon, and Haidee Lu Benedicto, daughter of Ambassador Francisco Benedicto and Consul Leontina  Lu Benedicto,  were friends while working in the same stock brokerage firm long before they became a couple. After two years of courtship, they got married and have been blessed with two adorable children, four year-old Annika and Gavin, two.

Five years into their marriage, the couple decided to celebrate the milestone with a renewal of vows  officiated by pastor Allan Critchett of New Life Church at the Shangri-La Mactan Resort and Spa.

The blushing wife and mom wore a bustier gown by Spanish designer Rosa Clara, while Jason wore a perfectly tailored dark suit by Randy Ortiz.

Principal sponsors included Senator Joseph Victor Ejercito with  Rachel Marguerite del Mar, Cebu Provincial Governor Hilario Davide III and his wife Jobella Davide, Consul Enrique Benedicto,  Margarita Osmeña, Joseph Tan,Mons Romulo, Andrew Gotianun Jr. and Amelia Go. 

Christine Denise Lim, Haidee’s best friend, was maid of honor, while John Edward Gobing, Jason’s best friend was the best man.  Bridesmaid was Charmaine Chioson and Lance Derric Chan was the sole groomsman. The couple’s daughter Annika together with Kristen Lara Huan and Sophia Alessandria Siy were the  flower girls, while  Gavin was the ring bearer.

Reception was held at the Mactan Ballroom, which was illuminated with tiny lights and candles that lent an intimate and romantic feel to the space.  A sit-down dinner immediately followed. Receiving warm felicitations were florist Pinky Chang, who transformed the venue into a  dreamlike setting  and master baker Marissa Unchuan for her  five-tiered fondant cake.

Celebrity singer and stand-up comedienne  Giselle Sanchez brought much laughter to the invitees. DJ Karl Ty supplied the rest of the evening’s entertainment that had guests dancing until the wee hours of the morning.
